The Ravages of Black Diphtheria

An epidemic of black diphtheria is ragin. at
Loekport. Pa. a small town of 200 inhabitants
situated on the Pennsylvania railroad about 60
miles east of Pittsburg. Nearly half of the
population are reported down with the disease,
and IS deaths have occurred within the past
five days. Recently an old via,luct which
formed part of the State canal was DESTROYED

pools of water which. it is believed, caused the
epidemic. The victims are seized with black
vomt and usually die in two or three days.

The Price of So-called Prohibitionists

The chairman of the Prohibition State CONF

tanning the prices at which the services of the
leading Prohibitioni>ts can be obtained. Some
of them. principally the candidates for office.
are willing to deliver speeches for their eX-
penscS and entertainment, while others want
all the way from So to $50 night for speak

clergymen are included in the So list. and some
offer 4 job lot of six speeches for $40. EX-Gov.
st. John charged the Maine Prohbitionists
800 speech. but it seems that the Iowa breth-

ably, however, they ask all they are worth, and
in many cases, no doubt. good deal more.

The following has been issued from the Lectur
rr's Department of the National Grange:

crs Department of the National Grange:
We have before lis row some stern realities
which a few years ago we pointed out as what the
Grange desired to do and what might eNpect to
see accomplished. We have made some bold
thrustS at monopoly: we have pushed our claims
before our law making bodies; we have compelled
scornng public to respect us as business men
and women. We have succeeded, to some extent,
in pcrsli'ing the tllers of the soil to stop long
enough to consider our true situation, to look cir
cunstanCcs straight in the face and ask ourselves.
"Why do the people who produce the wealth of
this country receive the smallest compensation for
their labors?" And to-day the people are rising
up i'll the power that justly belongs to our class
and SAYING by their actions and their votes that
forbcarance has ceased to be a virtue, and that
justice to our calling and ourselves demands that
we assert our rights and compel their recognition.
Our Order has much to he proud of in the past,
but more to work for in the present and the future.
We have only learned to handle tools and our mis-
sion will not he filled until every farmer shall
ccive the same compensation lur 4 wear of honest
and Intelligent labor in his fields as men receive,
for the same amt of labor in any other rrofes-
sion or "ccupation and our children have the
same advantages of education and our homes are
Supplied with the same luNuTics and comforts that
are enjoyed by the families of those engaged in
other callings in life. Deputv James McCrackcn,
Jefferson county. Pennsylvania.

to itself all the true goodness in the land, can
smother its chronic hatred Of Republicans suf-

that point it will discover that there never was

The Rout of the Democratic Annex.

At the little bout on third party politics at Old
Orchard, the third party men appear to have been
decidedly left in the cold. Rev. Mr.. LaI.acheur,
after giving them severe drubbing, put the mat.
ter to vote, and the result was an overwhelming
victory for the party which has not only claimed
to he the friend of prohibition, but which has so
clearly sustained that claim by deeds actually per.
formed. Bridgton News.
